  1. Certainly.

    Still waiting for the press coverage of who did the actual bombing. Or, instead of the NYT commenting that Trump is inciting violence, some question about The New Republic’s graphic suggesting support for Yeltsin using violence to quell a rebellion.

  2. Credit where it’s due.

    To you also, Rand. I half expected you to cynically compare this to a gangster sending flowers to the funeral of a rival he’s just murdered. I am pleasantly surprised to see you taking the gesture at face value.

  3. The problem is the elites. There have always been good rank and file democrats. Good democrats aren’t evil, just tools. The Hydra is fine with that.

    If Hillary wins I’m sure the narrative will be, “See, the world didn’t end.” The problem is they hide their evil and lie about it. Plus it takes time to consolidate power… but they are already on their way with Obama’s actions.

    All they have to do is boil the water slow enough while ridiculing anyone that’s on to them.

    Those good folk are in the soup right along with the rest of us.

      1. Good does not mean not stupid or fooled. They even fool those that don’t trust them and are watching.

  4. Who firebombed it in the first place? Republicans?

    Sorry, Rand, my cynicism goes deeper than yours. This is an “oh shit! it might get pinned on us!” not “let’s do what’s right”. Democrats long ago gave up any pretense of democracy. Now it’s thugs across the board – unless they think they might get caught. Right and wrong don’t matter to the Democrats, only power. Jim keeps proving that over and over.

    1. A couple Democrats might have put up the gofundme page but who knows if Democrats were the ones that funded it. And who knows how much money they could have raised? Which is why it was important to shut down the campaign as soon as possible.

      Time will tell if the local GOP gets the money or if it goes to some other group like Republicans Against Trump or any group at all.

  5. What’s going to happen when exit polls show Trump winning ten to one, but officially Hillary wins?

      1. So the fact that Trump rallies have tens of thousands while Hillary can’t fill a high school gym means nothing?

        1. All that means is that Trump has an ardent base. I’m voting for Gary Johnson, though I haven’t and won’t go to any of his rallies.

          1. But neither are they meaningless. Did you see the youtube of Hillary pollster stuffing ballot boxes in CA to deny Sanders a win? It was massive. Why would she not do the same thing to Trump?

          2. Rand, we now have confessed evidence that Hillary has paid organizations for the sole purpose of massive voter fraud. Those organizations don’t exist for no purpose.

            Polls have Hillary winning, but internal polls and other evidence is telling a different story. Hillary has to be up in the polls, which is one of two reasons they lie about it, for her cheating to be more credible. We see this kind of lying almost every time and now we know they brag about cheating for 50 years.

            Not only are Trump’s rallies 20+ times the size of her’s but most Sanders voters hate her. So even if half the country were socialists it still wouldn’t give Hillary the win.

            The problem is her cheating is deniable and even when caught it’s not even the tip of the berg.

        2. Voting is more convenient than going to a rally. Many people don’t even need to leave the house.

          That Trump has large crowds at his rallies says something but I don’t think it invalidates the polls.

          There is even a little hope that libertarians will realize the greatest threat to classical liberalism in their lifetimes comes by electing Hillary.

  6. Any comment from anyone about Trump’s challenge to Hillary to take a drug test (yes he said he would if she does)?. So far no reply from the Clinton camp. Don’t see how she can; if she has Parkinson’s disease (as is strongly rumored) the meds she would have to be on would presumably show up in the screen assuming it was honestly done. If she refuses (or likely just ignores it) Trump will hammer her on it night and day before during and after the debate. “What is she hiding?” This is Trump’s hail mary defense against the “octopus” attacks and tanking of his poll numbers. He has nothing to lose; I say go for it.

    1. Many have said his suggestion of a drug test was a mistake. I think it was brilliant. First the obvious, it keeps Hillary’s medical issues at the fore front, which we know from leaked emails she is really trying to hide. Second, folks like David Axelrod were trying to suggest Trump was sniffing cocaine prior to the debates. Well, a simple response is to have a drug test of the candidates. I think Axelrod should take one as well.

      1. Even without the drug testing, during the 3rd debate people are going to be paying close attention to her energy level. That type of scrutiny will not be good for her regardless of the truth.

      2. “, it keeps Hillary’s medical issues at the fore front, which we know from leaked emails she is really trying to hide. ”

        How do we know this?

        I see this:
        http://truepundit.com/wikileaks-bombshell-hillary-directed-state-dept-staff-to-research-parkinsons-drug/

        But there is no indication that it involves Hillary Clinton and not someone else, and there is not even any indication that the issue is health-related, since the focus of the email is on military applications.

        1. Eventually you’ll run out of straws to grasp. Don’t worry about the freefall, that ain’t too bad. It’s the sudden stop at the end that’s the problem.

        2. Having a van with a bed in it is pretty suspicious. First time we have seen a candidate use one. Then there is this:

          “Hard to think of anything more counter-productive than demanding Bernie’s medical records,” Mr. Tanden emailed Mr. Podesta, according to an email obtained by WikiLeaks from Mr. Podesta’s personal inbox.

          The only reason this would be counter productive is if Hillary has her own health issues to worry about. Considering the timing, it couldn’t have been her magic pneumonia. In all likelihood, Hillary was lying about pneumonia because losing control of her body and collapsing to the ground is a common occurrence for her.

          1. The type of pneumonia Hillary has could be related to her Parkinson disease. It is caused by chronic neurological derived difficulty in proper swallowing; food keeps going down her windpipe leading to pneumonia.

    2. The way drug tests work is by testing for specific drugs. They don’t test for anything/everything present in blood or urine. Imagine the arguing over what drugs and pharmaceuticals would be tested for. Also, botox wouldn’t show up in a typical drug screening.

      Hillary has to take so many days off before an election to allow her face to heal from all the injections she is getting.
